Vancouver / Names / S / Sutherland / East 8th Avenue

A family name on East 8th Avenue, Mount Pleasant, Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise

The Sutherlands

In the city directories 1940 · six people at two addresses

The directories print six people named Sutherland at two addresses in 1940, all on East 8th Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: five Sutherlands at 1820 East 8th in 1940. The directories print the name on 95 other streets too, all listed on the Sutherland name's own page.

Where the Sutherlands lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

What they did

The name section prints a trade for five of the six: a hairdresser (2), a logger (2) and a carpenter. One is a widow, listed under her own name.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland and Mount Pleasant. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Frank Sutherland at 756 East 8th Avenue, a carpenter. Mrs F Sutherland is listed at 1820 East 8th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Frances Sutherland there as the householder, widow of H D, with Adam D Sutherland, a logger, Amber D Sutherland, a hairdresser, Doug H Sutherland, a logger, and May F Sutherland, a hairdresser.

Today

1820 East 8th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1911 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 756 East 8th, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
